U Is Interesting to 'M. know that Pr Phillip* was performing W an operation in a Honolulu liospilal [ f when the air laid was on. I Dr. Phlllii? and his family, who live F In the Manna valley, escaped uninjured. According to a letter received here last week. The letter was writJen n.H .mher 20th and came to Aiuer. lea aboard the "Clipper". ' We are all safe and sound and car<?i rylng on as usual plus", says Dr. Phll llpsju Ills letter. "Wh%t do popole think and do In the Paradise of the Pacific when a portion of hell moves In?" says the letter. "Well. 1 can tell you with a great deal of gratification that thoy take It In a stride and carry on nevertheless. "The response of this comnuiiity, military, naval and civilian, was one of the most gratifying ami reassuring things 1 have ever witnessed. It IS true that It look a little while before we could believe our ears and eyes. Announcers of local radio stations, their voices high in excitement, repeated constantly. 'This is no joke!' this is the real McCoy'. "And then in exactly nothing flat the community began to function and every agency and Individual, which had been set up uiui trained, and many that developed spontaneously, went lzjito action. "That Sunday morulng was like any Sunday morning In Hawaii; clear, baluiy and sunshiny. I left our home at Manou Valley before 8 o'clock on my way to Queen's hospital, where I wafl to operate at 8:15. On the way down Manou Hill, 1 saw smoke of antiaircraft shells In the sky over Pearl Harbor, which Is only a few miles away. and I thought it was most unusual and spectacluur. "However, we have been used to the unusual and spectacular here. I arrived at the hospital and went ahead with my operation which I finished about 9 a. m. A few minutes later when I left the hospital I found a group of physicians outside watching the activities in the sky which by this time were quite something. Just about'then a call came for doctors to go * af?y- Uospltal. and we all hurs/" ried away and to York. and there was plenty for us to do. "Each year the doctors of Honolulu Import two or more physicians from the mainland who are- outstanding In their particular field. year we had a man from New .York who is probably the outstanding authority on traumatic surgery In America. His lecture was delivered on December 4 aod was to have been on burns, but for some inconsequent all reason, his schedule was changed und he talked <jn the care of accidental wounds instead.

When the doomed garrison of valiant Marines at Wake Island telegraphed the Navy to send us more Japs", they were only living up to traditions that were established even before America itself was founded. That is the opinion of Major A. C. Small, officer in charge of the Savannah recruiting district, which includes the state of South Carolina and the eastern portion of Georgia. And Major Small should know for he has been in the Marines for twenty-flve years. He saw front line action with the Marines in the first World War. Major Small isn't sure' whether Southerners make the Marines or the Marines make Southerners bloom In full. Rut anyway, the majority of Marines are Southerners?Southerners who fulfill the traditions of the South and of the. Marine Corps at one and the same time. "The Marine Corps", he said, "seems to be Just the place for hot-blooded Southerners. At least, we seem to fit into the Corps pretty?well." Naturally. Major Small thinks Marines are the tops among military men. Marines are better trained, he says, and usually better equipped. But the trade-mark of the Marine is his enthusiasm for the Marines. Nowhere in the world. Major Small says, can a better espirit de corps be found. And that, he concludes, is a major reason why Marines are better fightI ing men. With 166 years of tradition J b? lund them Marines naturally feel th'-mselves a little superior to cny her class of fighting men. I he importance of tradition is not overlooked bv Major Small. "When you give a mail something to live up to." ho said, "usually you fiud he does his darned very best to keep from disappointing you." Marine history is full of incidents that majte the hair stand up straight on any school boy's head. That phrase in tiie Marine hymn "from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli" is no idle boast. It was in 1S05 that the sea soldiers fought and whipped the Mediterranean pirates and raised 'he American flag over Tripoli, strong I to !>! of the huaccaneers.

A murder trial in San Francisco was interrupted by a telegraph messenger who arrive to sing "Happy Birthday" to the court clerk. 4. A Schenectady, N. Y., man, arrested for swearing, explained he'd been gardening and had gotten ants in his pants. 6. An absent-minded professor in Saw Mills, S.

Y., made a down payment on a car with three $50 bills, which turned out to be not only Confederate money bu counterfeit to boot. And if you want to take issue with any of those championship selections, here'are some alternates: An Kvanston, 111., ball player discovered that he was allergic to canary feathers. 3U.OOO bushels of popcorn stored in Kansas City started popping and popped the wall right off the 'building.
